APC chairman reveals what may be done to Tinubu over utterances against President Buhari
Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had said that the ruling party may punish Tinubu over his comment “against” President Muhammadu Buhari.
During his visit to Abeokuta, Ogun state capital, on Thursday, June 2, Tinubu told delegates of the ruling party that without his support, Buhari would not have won the presidency in 2015.
He said after three election losses, the president wept and said he would not contest again, but he (Tinubu) went to him and told him to run again and that he would win because he and others were on the president’s side.
